Pope Leo XIV’s Contrasting Approaches to Abuse Cases in Peru

A recent investigation conducted by The New York Times has highlighted the varied responses from Pope Leo XIV in dealing with two sexual abuse cases that occurred during his tenure as a bishop in Peru. In one case, the Pope’s actions were seen as a strong endorsement of the victims’ rights and well-being, providing them with critical support and resources. However, in the other case, his response was found wanting, with critics arguing that he did not do enough to protect the accused or ensure justice for the victims.
